Methods: Single-gene analysis of GINS4 was performed by breast cancer RNA transcriptome data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect the expression of GINS4 in triple-negative and non-triple-negative breast cancer cell lines. The knockdown effects of GINS4 in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines on the proliferation and invasion of breast cancer cells were examined by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8) and Transwell assays. Results: Bioinformatics analysis showed that the expression of GINS4 in breast cancer was significantly higher than that in normal breast tissues (P > 0.05). At the same time, cell experiments confirmed that GINS4 was highly expressed in human breast cancer cell lines with normal breast cells as reference and in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines as reference, where the ability of proliferation and invasion of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells decreased after GINS4 knockdown. Conclusion: GINS4 is a gene associated with breast cancer malignancy, which can act as a novel tumor marker and has the potential as a new therapeutic target for breast cancer.展开更多

文摘目的 筛选卵巢癌预后不良的分子生物学标志。方法 从GEO数据库获得卵巢癌GSE14001、GSE14407数据集,用在线分析工具GEO2R、Venn筛选得到卵巢癌和正常卵巢组织差异表达基因(DEGs),对DEGs进行富集分析,构建蛋白互作网络(PPI),以及构建网络模块得到关键基因,利用Kaplan Meier plotter网站分析关键基因与卵巢癌患者总生存期之间关系,应用GEPIA数据库分析DEGs在卵巢和卵巢癌组织中表达,应用The Human Protein Atlas数据库获取筛选基因的免疫组化结果,对比它们在卵巢和卵巢癌组织间的表达差异。结果 得到211个DEGs,92个上调和119个下调。差异基因生物学过程主要涉及侧枝发芽的正向调控、乏氧反应、间充质-上皮细胞信号传导;细胞组分主要集中在质膜顶、细胞表面、细胞外外泌体等部位;分子功能主要涉及丝氨酸型内肽酶活性、金属内肽酶活性、受体活性等;信号通路富集于白细胞跨内皮细胞迁移、细胞黏附通路、癌症通路等信号通路。得到35个候选基因,其中14个基因高表达、8个基因低表达与患者总生存期相关(P<0.05)。其中ATP6V1F、GINS1、GINS4基因在卵巢癌组织中在RNA水平和蛋白质水平表达均高于正常组织(P<0.05)。GNB3在卵巢癌组织中RNA水平表达低于正常组织,而在蛋白质水平恰好相反(P<0.05)。结论 ATP6V1F、GINS1、GINS4有可能是卵巢癌预后不良的新分子标志物。
